translated from Spanish: Spanish Union claims to have enough merits to be the ‘Chile 4’

Unión Española assured, through a statement, sufficient merit to keep the ‘Chile 4’ for the Copa Libertadores 2020, a quota that will be defined on Thursday by the anFP board. This resolution responds to the impossibility of defining this quota on the pitch and the decision of Conmebol to have the information of the clubs classified before 16 December next. By Chile are already classified Catholic University, Colo Colo and Palestino.In the writing, the Hispanic group argues that “it was one of the few clubs that advocated for the championships to continue to develop normally. Not so University of Chile and Unión La Calera, who were in favor of football being paralyzed until before the discussion began for the square of ‘Chile 4′”.” Unión Española is a semi-finalist in Copa Chile, whose tournament is the one that awards the place of ‘Chile 4’. In that sense, it would be paradoxical if a club that was already eliminated from the competition as Unión La Calera was awarded the benefit of participating in Copa Libertadores 2020,” he adds. Continuing with its arguments, the colony store states that “if we speak of sports justice, appealing to Article 80 copa Chile and considering the only semi-finalists of the tournament, Unión Española completed its participation in the National Championship in the 9th 34-way, while University of Chile did so in downhill positions with 24 points.” If the above was not enough, the direct clashes between the three institutions where Unión Española was undefeated should be considered; he triumphed and tied against Unión La Calera (1-2 and 1-1) and won and equalled against Universidad de Chile (1-2 and 1-1)”, sentencing.
